>I am trying to print to an Eltron TLP2642 thermal label printer from VFP5 in Win98. The problem is that Windows is spooling my printer commands. I have tried variations of "set print on", "set printer to" and "set device to" using the "?" and "TYPE" commands. I would appreciate any help on printing directly to a port.

Either go outside VFP to do your print manipulation (what I do with Monarch's form-oriented label printers, but I'm now 100% responsible for manipulating the port, formatting and the like, and the code I wrote to do this, while not terribly complex in and of itself, is written in C), or alter your printer settings on the workstation to print directly to the printer, bypassing the spooler (The printer's Properties sheet, the Details tab has a button for spool settings; select the radio button to print directly to the printer using RAW format.)
